This fourth movement was composed by Ravel in memory of two brothers and childhood friends of his, Pierre and Pascal Gaudin, both killed by the same shell in November 1914.
The Rigaudon is easily the most exuberant and grand-sounding dance in Le tombeau de Couperin. Its energetic and obvious joy stands as a strong contrast to the largely introverted movements that preceded it.
That's the case at least at the beginning. A vastly different Trio brings a touch of uncertainty and faint sadness (1:14). Even here, there's still beauty to be found.
The main Rigaudon dance comes back without warning (2:30), and an abbreviated version of it closes the movement.
